Ryan Reynolds joins the long list of people who have seen and raved about John Krasinski's A Quiet Place Part II. The 44-year-old actor is known for starring in big blockbuster movies such as Deadpool and Detective Pikachu. While he isn't involved in creating the post-apocalyptic horror film, Reynolds is friends with Krasinski. At one point, the two Hollywood A-listers were even reported to be teaming up to create a comedy film together.
A Quiet Place Part II follows the story of the Abbott family as they try to survive and outsmart the blind and sound-sensitive aliens that have overtaken the planet. After losing their father (Krasinski) and home in the first movie, the remaining family members must venture out to search for other human survivors and a safer place. Written and directed by Krasinski, the film stars his wife Emily Blunt. The highly anticipated sequel was supposed to hit theaters last year but was heavily delayed due to the pandemic. It was finally released on Friday, May 28.
Reynolds is among the early birds who saw A Quiet Place Part II on the day of its big release. After watching the thriller, the actor jumped on Twitter to praise Krasinski's work. Known for his hilarious quips on social media, Reynolds gave his honest review by playing around with the movie's title. According to him, the sequel is so good that he can't be "silent" about it. Krasinski returned the joke by replying with an image of Deadpool doing the "shush" sign. Check out their playful exchange below:
Obviously, Reynolds is a fan of Krasinki's horror saga. The two actors also enjoyed a good-humored banter on Twitter three years ago, when the first A Quiet Place movie came out. That time, he called Krasinski and Blunt his "new parents" and revealed that he saw the movie twice in one week. Krasinski acknowledged his tweet and replied in jest.
Reynolds isn't the first celebrity to sing praises over A Quiet Place Part II, and he certainly won't be the last. Within the short time that it's been released, the film has already drawn positive reviews from moviegoers and critics alike. Its success is a great win not just for Krasinski, but also for the pandemic-hit entertainment industry.
Amid lockdown restrictions, film companies were forced to release movies via streaming platforms. A Quiet Place Part II is one of the first movies to enjoy a theater run, just as cinemas are starting to fill seats again. Over the last few weeks, Krasinski has been actively promoting A Quiet Place Part II using the hashtag "TheatersAreBack" on social media. Thanks to a good horror movie and with a little help from his famous friends, it seems the industry is on a good track.
